Jakarta EE Meets AI

Most of us aren’t building our own Large Language Models (LLMs); instead, we’re consuming and integrating them into enterprise applications. And guess what? Java is the perfect language for these integrations! You don’t need to learn Python or other languages to add AI capabilities to your applications.

This session will explore various options for Java developers to integrate AI into their enterprise Java applications. Through live demos, we’ll showcase how libraries and tools like LangChain4J, Spring AI, and Jakarta EE can help you seamlessly incorporate AI into your systems.
